NOTE: This schedule was prepared from various and partly discordant Nasa and other
        sources, so it should be taken with appropriate care. Actual launch dates 
        are set at the Flight Readiness Review held about two weeks prior to launch.

   International Space Station (ISS) flies in an orbit inclined 51.60
   degrees to Earth's equator, while the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
   is in a 28.47 degrees inclined orbit.
